Just got back from a Norwegian Cruise Line trip. They had one poker table (regular - not electronic) and ran 1/2 NL. I played one orbit before I figured out the rake situation - 10% rounded up to the nearest dollar, rake taken even without a flop, capped at $25 ! I don't think this is beatable long term even with cruise poker fish. I thought Carnival's $7 capped rake was pretty bad but $25 is insane for 1/2. And they don't comp drinks either at those prices!

On the plus side they ran three $60 rebuy tourneys and played on some of the other casino tables to accomodate ~35 players. The blind structure was such that the final table had a chipleader with only ~10BB each day so it ended in a crap shoot but still better structure than the nightly cash table.

Just back from 5 night cruise similar to PJ's out of NOLA on the Carnival Triumph.

Electronic poker table took a little bit of time getting used to but otherwise was not a problem to play on.
There was only 1 table, 10 players 1-2 No Limit
Rake was 15% to a max of $6. but at least there is no dealer to tip. You have to pay for drinks while playing.

They did have SnG's in the mornings but the structure was bad. $60 buy in 10 players and they paid top 2 $250 and $150. 1500 in chips with blinds starting at $50-$100. Not much push botting most players were content to hold on and try and cash.

The no limit game featured mostly limp/calling stations, all in maniacs with 'take my money" tattooed on thier forehead and yound kids who thought they were Durr.
Played 6 sessions on 4 days just ABC poker and wound up plus $205..nothing spectacular but had fun
